अभिमन्युना दुःशासनस्य ताडनम्
Abhimanyu’s Rebuke and Wounding of Duḥśāsana; Karṇa’s Counter-volley
दुःशासनस्तु संक्रुद्धः प्रभिन्न इव कुड्जर: । अयोधयत सौभद्रमभिमन्युश्न तं रणे,मदकी धारा बहानेवाले गजराजके समान क्रोधमें भरा हुआ दुःशासन उस रफक्षेत्रमें अभिमन्युसे और अभिमन्यु दुःशासनसे युद्ध करने लगे

ଦୁଃଶାସନ କ୍ରୋଧେ ଉନ୍ମତ୍ତ ହୋଇ, ମଦମତ୍ତ ହାତୀ ପରି, ରଣଭୂମିରେ ସୌଭଦ୍ର ଅଭିମନ୍ୟୁଙ୍କ ସହ ଯୁଦ୍ଧକୁ ଲାଗିଲା। ସେଠାରେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧକ୍ଷେତ୍ରରେ ଅଭିମନ୍ୟୁ ଓ ଦୁଃଶାସନ ପରସ୍ପର ଘୋର ସମର କଲେ।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how uncontrolled anger (krodha) propels a person into destructive action. Even amid martial valor, rage is portrayed as a force that clouds judgment and deepens the ethical degradation of war.
Duḥśāsana, furious and compared to a rut-maddened elephant, directly engages Abhimanyu (Saubhadra) in combat; the two fight each other on the battlefield during the Drona Parva sequence.
